if you watch arsenal place I see so much space and no runs no runs at all only when in the box if you watch Leicester they are always makeing runs all over the place that's how you score
goals against a team like Southampton they controlled the game it was not unlucky just like chelsea can do control the game and won arsenal players don't believe they can win the title the players in that team play without heart you know why because Im sure wenger tells them becareful we don't need anymore Injurys what kind of mentality is that also I will pick out Ramsey he is playing like a player who is leaveing the club he and flamini just don't work Ramsey is not playing good at all wenger can blame make excuses but truth is he is the manager he make the tactics and he gets it wrong all the time giroud has no pace none bench him against some teams and play pure pace make runs ox Walcott but they don't Walcott has lost it his pace has gone its clear or he fears I jury how if a player is fit put your all in forget injury if you get Injured then so be it but if your fit and your Walcott run put yourself about wenger should leave because he.
Not exact matches
For example,
against Pullis type
teams we may want Ramsey who will make the penetrating late runs into the box
against a
team that sits back and defends, we may want to start with Ramsey
against a
team like Chelsea to get the 1st
goal but then Coquelin coming on to sit and defend while relying on long passes from Xhaka and the threat from our tank Seo and Bellerin / Ox... More counter attacking.
The only solution for the referee's unfair and wrong decision
against our lovely club is to strengthen our squad quality specially in the defensive areas and be ruthless in front of the
goal just
like the current Man city
team.
Whilst we
like to beat up on OG his
goals / game ratio in PL over the last 3 years is pretty similar to Benzeman — who plays in a
team that creates far more chances
against arguably weaker opposition week in week out.
Nothing
like getting the primary assist on a
goal against your own
team, eh?
We were terrible
against West brom yes the ref gave a phantom penalty but come on we should be putting
teams like West brom to the sword never mind holding onto a 1
goal lead courtesy of an own
goal..
It was his new Italian striker Pelle who settled this afternoon's final pre-season friendly
against Bayer Leverkusen — albeit not in the way he would
like, with Pelle's own
goal the only thing separating the
teams.
Happy we're through but that was an awful performance offensively at least, this stupid tippy tappy one two football is easy to defend
against its
like Wenger tells his
team score the perfect
goal or don't score at all..
This squad has more
goals in it, but needs to play at a faster pace to overcome the inevitable attempt by other
teams to player
like Liverpool
against us.
A
goal given for or
against a
team can have a huge effect and a decision
like whether to give a red card (Mertesacker) or a yellow card (Demichelis) can be the difference.
theos amazing 19
goals was actually 10 in the premier league and 5 in the fa cup
against minnows 3
against teams like ludogrets and 1 just one
against bayern
The lack of power in our defence compared to top
teams will cost us dearly even burnley were willing to have a hotmail on Saturday bcse all
teams coming to emirates know that there is a
goal to be had
against the
likes of mert arteta flamini and Monreal
But we haven't challenged for the PL title for many years, and these are the problems, that we seem to have constantly: 1) We are letting in too many
goals 2) «Physical
teams» often seem to be able to beat us 3) We always loose too many points in the internal games
against top opponents 4) We always have too many injuries 5) We have many matches, where the
team seem unmotivated for at least one half In a single match or even a few matches, you can blame individual players or even the whole
team for problems
like the above.
Mourinhoo's Manchester United could not capitalize from their set piece
goals, if they are
against skillful
teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Real want 50 million for Benzema and he only scored a few more
goals than Giroud in La Liga, where the big
teams like Real wrack up big scores
against the league minnows.
He used to score beautiful
goals against big
teams, the
likes of Chelsea, Mancity, ManU and Liverpool
If Giroud would have taken penalties instead of Cazorla then he could have had more
goals than Costa... Also many of his
goals were easier tap ins with terrible defense positioning helping him whereas in PL you would have to work very hard
against some
teams like saints, eagles, clarets, etc...
Not expert enough
against top
teams who love his reading of game so much they put a shit load of
goals passed him... It's not just that's he is slow it's also because he is one of the worst distributors of a ball I have seen in top flight football... Just watch his passing to players with no option but to boot loose ball or pass back... It is truly shocking... so yes unless you're a 4th place junkie mert should be a bench player just
like for Germany in World Cup
A manager who is used to lose
against teams to 8
goals, or lately to 4
goals against (with all due respect to them) mediocre
team like Southampton has no place at barcelona.
Otherwise good
teams like Tottenham will score 3 - 4
goals against us, and Wenger will blame the ref.
It was a good all round
team performance from Arsenal
against Crystal Palace yesterday and there were some notable showings from the
likes of Alexis Sanchez, Iwobi, Xhaka, Elneny and both full backs, but even though his overall contribution was perhaps not the best of the lot, I just have to give Olivier Giroud the Man of the Match for one of the best
goals you will ever see.
Evgeni Nabokov, a holdout last season, again played
like an elite goalie; center Patrick Marleau, who had three
goals against the Blues, replicated his 28 -
goal regular season (tying Cheechoo for the
team lead); forward Nils Ekman, previously a journeyman minor leaguer, chipped in 55 points while playing fewer than 15 minutes a game.
you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the
team forward.but unfortunately u hav players
like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack
like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players
like ramsey hav contributed to arsenal's inability... imagine a
team like barcelona playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to conceding
goals and so on.difference is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u r rewarded with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he was top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that opportunity he got
against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender time to get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it was cazorla, arsenal wud hav scored...
Arsenal became the first Top 7
team to concede 20
goals this season
against Southampton on Sunday, and in fact they would just make the top 10 if we were judged on the amount of
goals you let in, but obviously an attacking
team like Wenger's Arsenal always work on the premise that they will score more than their opponents.
Where Ramsey can go 10 games with having shokers of games, only to score one nice
goal against a kebab
team, to make fans
like you shoot rainbows out of their mouths.
Current form is that leicester are scoring freely
against teams like man city and liverpool whilst conceedind very few
goals.
We couldn't score an open play
goal against a
team with 10 players for
like 70 mins.
we faced them twice without loosing
against them beating them in d process, world class matic was in chelsea
team we dominated and annihilated @ fa cup finals, with matic making zero successful tackles and was a liability all tru d duration of d match, was ran over by our midfielders
like ever, lukaku was in Everton
team we beat 3; 0 even with 10 men, even with Mert @ our back he couldn't even smell a
goal, the way we ridicule our players is terrible, to some dudes here all we have is bunch of idiots, parading as players, what a pathetic bunch of ingrates, between Sanchez and walcot last season we have 49
goals and numerous assists, how many
goals has Rashford and Martial scored since last season that makes they super stars?
My fellow gunners Wenger is a failure either you admit or not, though this is a preseason match which is less important just to make the players gain fitness, before the competitive matches commence, but at the same time Wenger's tactics and formation should be questioned especially
against big
teams, he had conceded numerous
goals against big
teams in which today's match is a reflection of what we are talking about, his old and out dated philosophy is no longer valid in modern football, no wonder Alexis Sanchez can't confide in his plans to propel the
team in winning major honours, Wenger still believe in some of the bunch of fringe players he should have gotten rid of in the
team and replace them with world class players or players that are hungry for success
like Alexis, anyway there is still much time in the transfer window presently to do that, if he can change the hands of time and stop being too stubborn.
Whenever he's on the pitch you the
team will get at least onebor two
goals, with more ruthless forwards we could easily be scoring 4 - 6
goals against the
likes of Tottenham and Southampton, that's how good the Rambo / Ozil partnership is.
His persistence with sonogo as a first
team option beggars football belief... And the lemming
like reaction on this site after his
goals against benfica was comical....
Qualities: Giroud - Hold up (but not
against top defenders Tery, Cahil, etc), short pass, hard working,
team player, defensive duties (set - pieces), injuries Benteke - Hold up, short pass, better dribbler, long shots, finishing, positioning, defensive duties (set - pieces), can play with his back to the
goal and also drop deep and face the
goal when marked weakness: Giroud - very slow, easily marked, poor finishing (not wc finisher), technique Benteke - injuries, not a hard worker If you look the stats for the since 2012/2013, they have almost similar records except that Benteke scored
like total of 19
goals (correct me if I'm wrong) in his 1st season and also have a decent record
against top
teams, keep in mind he plays for AstonVilla not Arsenal where you get much more chances and better players around.
Wellbeck has scored important
goals for us in the little time he has played for us and he has scored
against the bigger
teams like Man United when those
goals most mattered.
Every
teams shows up when they meet Arsenal simply because they know we are there for the taking, there is no conspiracy anywhere... a
team having a bad run will come up
against us and suddenly look
like Barca and Madrid combined, a striker that has not scored in ages comes up
against is and suddenly he plays
like Messi n Ronaldo combined, a keeper leaking
goals for fun will come up
against us and he becomes Banks and Cech combined....
And a
team like bayern with guys
like robben, ribery, costa, and there midfield duo we will be easy to counter
against thus i expect bayern to atleast score a
goal.
A hat - trick in the last League game
against Aston Villa meant that Giroud equalled his best tally of 16 (EPL)
goals for the season, and 24 in all competitions, but that is not really good enough for a top
team like Arsenal, especially with Ozil creating chances in the hundreds.....
@gooner1000 it's my earnest hope that Wenger would give me an opportunity to turn around and say how f *** king great the
team is, hell I'll even gladly take the shit AKBs alone know how to spew... But remember it should only follow consistent great performances, scrapping lucky one
goal wins
against mediocre
teams like anderletch, westbrom etc don't count.
We all know that he
likes to send on his defencive players in the last 10 — 15 minutes if we are winning by a single
goal but
against teams like Barcelona, he really needs to do the opposite, by starting the games with all our defensive players and then bringing on our attackers in the last 10 — 15 minutes and catch them on the break when Barcelona get tired.
If only we play every match
like we did yesterday, we'll be scoring 5 - 7
goals against lower
teams like City does.
«I thought in the second half they always looked dangerous
against Bournemouth and capable of scoring — it is true that if you look at the number of
goals they scored and the quality of their last two performances, it looks
like they are coming back to a much more dangerous
team.»
You make some very good points and most i agree with... however, i have a couple points... 1) the invisibles were efficient,
like Chelsea now they only need two / three players and a couple of top passes to score, they caught
teams on the break,
against the top
teams arsenal cant do that, to many passes cause the counter to fail and then the hole
team wants to get in on the act leaving the
goal exposed..
The player who cost Sunderland $ 10 million back in August of 2014 is hoping that he will continue to score
goals, help out his
team and perform
like he did
against Exeter City for the rest of the season.
Maksim you are 100 % percent right about Dan Petrescu's faith in youngsters.In just a few months he gave chances to Ivan Solovyov, Pavel Solomatin and Vladimir Sobolev to play in the first
team.As for Mogilevets i think he will become and excellent player but not at Zenit.He needs to move elsewhere (and not on loan) to play first
team football
like Ionov did a few years ago.In my opoinion Zenit needs a striker (if they sell Hulk to AS Monaco) to score
goals.Kerzhakov is not at his best, Bukharov has forgotten when was the last time he score and Dordevic is not gonna get a chance.I understand that midfielders of Zenit are all capable of scoring
goals like Shirokov, Danny, Witsel, Bystrov and Fayzulin but thats striker's job and Zenit may lose a player on the filed.And something else, i was so impressed with Yuri Lodigin's performance
against Krasnodar and maybe Zenit found a great replacement for Malafeev.
It is bit
like if Serge Gnabry for example, played third game for us, scored 4
goals against lets say Liverpool (Rangers are not a weak
team by any means) and his fourth
goal was pinpoint top corner lob over the keeper from his own half (or something equally cheeky requiring tremendous amount of skill).
But the
goal was only a part of his story in the match
against Udinese as once again he demonstrated that he can be a crucial player for any
team when he has the right approach and focus
like he did in this game.
Even though it came
against a much weaker
team, it felt
like Arsenal hadn't drawn on the horrible experiences
against Monaco last season when the Gunners piled too many men forward and got killed on the counter-attack, and in a competition where away
goals, rightly or wrongly, are incredibly important, that is plain daft.
«We gave away two
goals in the first half and
against a
team like Juventus you pay for it.
Results
like ceding a 4
goal lead at Newcastle, the pathetic display
against Blackburn, losing at home to Spurs for the first time in decades, and failing to get points home and away
against inferior
teams, are the reason we won't win the league.
Lingards
goal was
like something you do when your playing for your school
team against your mates... Does nt give a fuck
Arsenal looked
like they had taken out exclusive rights on possession of the ball, whilst Blackburn parked the metaphorical bus in front of the
goal, employing a tactic well used
against Arsenal by countless other
teams of inferior quality.
